exhilarating, beyond exciting. >> washington, maine and maryland join six other states and the district of columbia in allowing gay marriage. but it's legal in those other states because of actions by judges or legislators, not voters. california is one of 38 states that passed bans on gay marriage. mostly by amending constitutions to define marriage as between one man and one woman. put simply, last night was all about electing people to make decisions for you. but at some point, you probably looked at the decisions made by your elected officials and thought, i can do better. cbs 5's report he mike sugerman explains people in one bay area city now have a chance to choose their own budget adventure. >> reporter: hey, citizens of vallejo, you're going on a shopping spree. ♪ [ music ] >> reporter: not that kind exactly. >> installing stop signs, repaving streets is a big one. >> reporter: jeannie brown is helping vallejo residents spend $3 million raised by a special

analyst, started the nonprofit in 2008 to fill a void. >> working in this neighborhood, one of the first things we noticed is there's a large amount of liquor stores. there's very few programs that actually cater to students' needs on saturdays. >> what's the ground beef for? >> pasta. all right. >> reporter: milad also teaches the older kids to cook healthy meals and serve then to the judger students and volunteers. all of the children take home fresh produce from the food bank. there is no nearby grocery store, only a dollar store. >> they have milk there. and their milk is three something per gallon. and the big sign that says, you know, this is the only item in the store that's not a dollar. >> reporter: 12-year-old ariana jones says "what now america" has given her an experience she wouldn't get at home. >> i learned how to cook. i've learned how to do a lot of science experiments, how to reason with people, how to calm down my anger. >> reporter: besides the

saturday sessions, "what now america"'s 75 volunteers stage back-to-school events, christmas movie day and a thanksgiving dinner. milad is always there. he even showed up for a holiday program the day after his berkeley apartment building caught fire. >> it was our big event and he didn't want to let fire keep him from being here for the kids. and i just was blown away. >> my reaction was, while i can truly say that all i own is everything that i'm wearing currently, i still feel like i have more support than many of the students that we're offering service to. >> reporter: so for offering support and encouragement to west oakland children every saturday afternoon, this week's jefferson award in the bay area goes to milad yazdanpanah. sharon chin, cbs 5. this part of the country is going to get colder and wetter and cloudier over the next 24 hours. pretty significant weather

(((toss sports))) in about an hour, the earthquakes will kick off te second leg of their series dennis o'donnell with the sports report tonight. >> sold out here. in about an hour the earthquakes will kick off the second leg of the series against the galaxy. if think win or tie against l.a., they will be on to the

western conference finals. the galaxy have a star-studded roster with david beckham and landon donovan. a free kick in the 94th minute in game one of the two game series. the winner is determined on a total of goals scored. now for those of you like dana king just hopping on the bandwagon, the quakes had 66 points in the regular season which was tops in the league. they have not lost here in santa clara all season. this is just their second play- off appearance since returning to san jose. their star tied the mls scoring read this year with 27 goals. the season turned around after the players watched the 1980s move the goonies and adopted this famous line. >> don't say that never say that, goonies never say die. >> it stuck. couple of years ago we were the bad news bear. this year we are the goonies. alongside is the head

coach of the san jose earthquakes. and coach, first of all, the movie goonies, was it an inspiration? >> it got mentioned early in the season from a great comeback so our guys like it. we don't look too much into it but it's stuck with us. >> but it's not the movie you play before every game in the locker room? >> no. >> take my back to sunday. victor fernandez doesn't score a lot of goals obviously, but what a huge moment for the defender. did you think it would get through? >> anytime you shoot on goal you have a chance to score. it goes under the goalkeeper a little bit of luck obviously with the goal. but, you know, for us i thought defending the unit was great, it was strong. i thought we did a great away performance and now we have to play our style and get more goals at home. >> the earthquakes are getting good press. the press they certainly deserving. but my buddy in the "mercury news," i want to be coach of

the year in the bay area. harbaugh with the 49ers. that's good stuff. >> i'm very happy with that. [ laughter ] >> would you vote for yourself? >> well, some good coaches in that thing. but, you know, we have had a great year. obviously of the coach gifts some praise for that. but it's been a building process. the players, the back room staff, the president, the general manager all those guys that are a big part of everything. but obviously the coach and the players get all the press. >> keep up the good work. congratulations. >> thank you. the warriors host the cavs tonight. they will be without super sub brandon rush who tore his acl last week. rush took the word hard so yesterday the entire team took a bus to his house in oakland to visit him. this photo was sent by the public relations department. in it he is watering his flowers in his backyard.

>> we just got to make sure, you know, we keep his spirits up and to be there for hin. life is more than just basketball. it's about, you know, life and things after basketball. >> on the road, at home, around each other a lot. i have seen teams scatter as soon as the whistle blows. but this is a unique group. >> great stuff with the warriors and obviously the galaxy and the quakes tonight. no sight yet of david beckham but we'll be here for the 10 and 11 news. big stuff for the earthquakes. guys. >> thank you. >> see you at 10:00 and 11:00. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com and you could save hundreds."

i wish i had u-verse when i was your age. in my day, we didn't have these fancy wireless receivers. blah, blah, blah. if i had a sleepover, i couldn't just move the tv into the playroom. no, we had to watch movies in the den because that's where the tv outlet was. and if dad was snoring on the couch, we muscled through it. is she for real? your generation has it made.
